Default What do yall think of these wheels on eb*y

I'm looking into putting some wheels on my 99 GS 400 (silver) with a 2 inch drop. What do yall think of these.... While the offset fit our GS or are the way off and will rub...


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2BSI%26otn%3D4




and these


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20-Pe...spagenameZWDVW


I like them both.....but have a size question...Is 20 by 9 (with a 20 mm offset) to wide for the front?


Thanks Family

20mm offset is way off. Check out the wheel guide for choosing your offsets.

Wheel Guide

If your looking at spending $1200 on wheels why not hit up D2 Autosport on the forum? You will get better quality wheels, awesome service and a badass fitment. Just my .02.

P.S- NICE 20's for the same price 1199 shipped, way better quality and they will fit 100% with no guessing. I think you will like the Columbo's from the other wheels you chose. D2 has other manufacturers in that price range, hit him up!

I would stay away from both sets unless you want to stretch tires and do some fender work. I agree with the above poster that you should hit up Derrick @ D2 Autosports. He will answer all your questions and set you up with some 1 piece wheels that fit and look great.

You should definitely check out Donz Columbos. They have a silver face with a nice deep chrome lip and are a great bang for your buck. If I didn't find my Zaubers, I would have bought the Donz.

Hate to pile on.....but these wheels aren't doing your ride justice. There are better ways to invest your doe-ray-me.

I like the wheels, don't get me wrong, but I can see putting those on my Honda Accord much more then my GS. I can play around with the Accord, but the GS just needs something to set it off. That's just me....
